Osinbajo Takes Over As President, As Buhari Goes On 5-Day Vacation

Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo has gotten a mandate of stearing the affairs of Nigeria as President from today, February 5 until next Tuesday, February 10.
This is because, the President, Muhammadu Buhari is proceeding on a brief vacation, shortly after his series of official visits outside the country.
A statement by the special adviser to the President on media and publicity, Femi Adesina said the Osinbajo will perform the functions of the President, saying that the action of the President is in compliance with Section 145 (1) of the Nigerian Constitution.
“President Buhari has dispatched a formal notice of his vacation to the Senate President and the Speaker of the House of Representatives.”
This is the first time President Buhari would take a break since ascending the Presidency in on May 29 last year after more than a year excruciating campaigns across the length and breadth of this country. During the campaigns, so many stories about his ill-health were spinned from the opposing political parties even as he campaigned day and night. [myad]
